Judicial report: RUBBED OUT completed a Trial which was required under the provisions of Rule 72.13 after turning in the boxes at Waikato GRC on 29.05.15.
FOREVER AUTUMN turned his head and shifted out towards SPIRIT RUN going into the first bend and forced that runner wider on the track. FOREVER AUTUMN was initially found by the Vet to have gracilus and tricep muscle pain with a 7 day stand down recommended. Some time later, FOREVER AUTUMN was again presented to the Vet and found to be developing water diabetes / acidosis with a 21 day stand down recommended. However, the Stewards were of the opinion that water diabetes / acidosis was not an injury incurred during the race and as a result, FOREVER AUTUMN was found to have failed to pursue the lure throughout the race and was stood down for 28 days under Rule 79.1 b and is required to complete a satisfactory trial before next racing.
